Police are appealing for witnesses after a 61-year-old man
suffered head injuries in a brutal attack at Gillingham railway
station.

The man from Chatham was pushed and dragged down the stairs as
he walked along the footbridge at platform three on Friday
night.

PC Andy Matthews said: "The pair exchanged words before the
suspect grabbed the victim and tried to drag him down the stairs.
He then punched the victim twice to the left side of his head
before pushing him against the wall. The man suffered a cut to the
top of his head and ear and passed out as a result of the
attack."

He was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital.

The suspect is described as white, aged between 20 to 25, around
5ft 8ins tall with brown spiky hair. He was wearing dark
clothing.
